Wisbech Town Hockey Club players paid tribute to club stalwart Paul Strickle last weekend.
Paul was vice chairman and groundsman at the town’s joint hockey and cricket clubs, and local players across the region donned black armbands and held a minute’s silence in his memory following his death on November 26.
Paul’s daughter, Hannah, plays for Wisbech’s first team.
A club spokesman said: “Every team that played, both home and away, stood proud for the club and this great man who had given so much to so many at to the club.
“It was a particularly difficult match for Hannah’s peers and friends. The ladies played their hearts out at Harleston and would have loved a win to honour ‘Stricks’ but sadly it wasn’t to be
“The team did all they could in every other way possible to show the huge amount of love and respect they hold for Hannah, her dad and all the family.”
